CANANDAIGUA — A Tuesday afternoon fire that destroyed two vehicles and the exterior of a garage was quickly extinguished, thanks to quick response from local firefighters.

The Canandaigua Fire Department’s Sam Loiacono said a city crew was dispatched at about 3:13 p.m. Tuesday to 3499 Route 364 (East Lake Road) in Canandaigua. Also responding were VA and Crystal Beach fire departments, with Farmington filling in while Canandaigua firefighters were at the scene.

Initial investigation revealed that the fire most likely originated in an all-terrain vehicle that was parked in the driveway of a three-car garage, Loiacono said. When the ATV became engulfed, the fire spread to a Ford 4x4 truck parked next to it. The ATV was “burned right to the frame,” and both vehicles were a “total loss,” he said.

There were no injuries and the fire did not extend into the garage, or into the home, Loiacono said, though there was extensive melting of the vinyl siding on the garage. There was minimal smoke damage inside the garage, he said.

“We happened to have a few extra people floating around the firehouse when the call came in,” Loiacono said. “It enabled us to get a lot of people and equipment right out the door. Had we not had enough people there and enough equipment, there’s no telling where it would have extended.”

According to Canandaigua Fire Chief Mark Marentette, two volunteer firefighters, a fire inspector and a new part-time firefighter doing on-the-job orientation happened to be at the station when the call came in.

“They went out the door with four people and two pieces of equipment immediately,” said Marentette.

The crew was dispatched at 3:13 p.m. and arrived on the scene at 3:20 p.m. Three hundred gallons of water and about five minutes later, the fire was under control, Marentette said.

“Another couple of minutes and it would have been in the garage, because it was lapping up against the garage and headed that way,” said Marentette.
